Wasted Talent ( Monologue)

Wasted Talent ( Monologue)

* Pema is just about to perform in front of thousands of people. She has just heard that her Talented in music Friend has taken his own life, Setting: on a stage ready for a play, she improvises her lines and does another monologue not the one she was planning to do before*

Emotion : Mostly Sad but anger with confusion and scorn together.

Pema Yogibear : * Wipes her tears* Okay.... Listen. All of you here , I know there is someone here. Who dreams, who dreams that one day you wake up and you become the person you always wanted to be. A musician, an Actor , a writer , an entrepreneur and... it goes on. You have to know that road you have taken, doesn´t come with plain smooth golden asphalt layed out just for you. It comes in black hue to drain your motivation and inspiration, with it huge cracks below your feet waiting for the moment you fall in, to trap you inside. There will also be long rusty nails to make you feel the unbearable pain that people have thrown just for you. * Takes a deep breath because is too much*

Those are all there waiting just for you, if you decide to take a road to your dream.... A friend of mine was found hanging on a halter. It pains me because I believed in him, this guy who had such talent, such voice and his lyrics just hit me every time I listened to him sing.

He had no financial gain from it, no recognition but he didn´t care because he had one thing he loved with him.

He had taken the road few dare to take, the black brick road and he did it for so long until he found himself trapped in a huge crack with his feet pierced with rusty nails of people´s critics. He gave up...

I urge you people here, if you take the road don´t forget what all this is about? Is about you reaching the end with few people and friends who believed in you because you aren´t walking alone. There will be friends to pull you out of those cracks, there will be friends who can clean the road for you. You can´t do it all alone and you may feel that they have disconnected from you but they are always there for you.

All you have to do it reach out for help when you need them.

About the Monologue

Sometimes people just give up, is sad to see people take their own lives. I have been hearing so many news about people killing themselves this year. From Movie stars to all of the people who tried their best but could not succeed. So I wrote this as to bring awareness.
